1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Soom Tan Gem Godo Discussion Thread~

Jul 4, 2006

    1. Pretty boy.. I really like his headmold. I so wanna see more of this boy :)
       
    2. Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! 0:
       
    3. Unfortunately Tanned Godo was a limited and has sold out, although they do mention a first ordering period, so maybe they will produce others in limited runs. I hope so, because I like him too!

    4. If I remember correctly there are only 10 in existance...two, maybe three of which are on this board. I really wanted to get him, but of course I didn't have the money until recently so I got the normal skin Godo instead. They apparently had a great deal of trouble with the resin, so they haven't produced another run yet, but since they started making tanned Mini Gems recently, I assume that they'll do another run eventually...I hope.
       
    5. I know that rinabell has a SOOM Tanned Godo if you want to see some owner pictures. He is here. I haven't seen him at any of our meets yet, but from the pictures I think he's rather lovely even if he's not my usual taste.

      -Abs
       
    6. I have him, and he is wonderful.
       
    7. After I posted to this thread last night, I sent a message to Soom's Q&A board asking if there were any plans to release anymore tanned Godos, and I received a reply a few hours later from Clover that it is something they are looking into, but no news as yet, however when they have news it will be put on their notice board :)

      Liz
       
    8. He is GORGEOUS !!
       
    9. I love his skin tone. Though I think his wig is a little bit odd, it doesn't make it less beautiful. I hope they release more of them in the near future!
       
    10. Personally, it's the wig that first made me notice the Tanned Godo, and I'd probably commission a dreadlock wig if I ever bought one :)

      Liz
       
    11. Fan of the wig here, too.

      But then, I love dreadlocks. ;)
       
    12. Agreed. That wig is just.... Augh *_* *fans self*
       
    13. I have one, he was my first. ^_^ He is great and I love him very much.

      Counting Rinabell, grael, ctrl-alt-doll, one other person I can't think of the username, and myself,...that accounts for half the existing Tan Godos. ^_^ Wonder where the other 5 are...
       
    14. Does anyone know if his tan skin is lighter than CP's? :3
       
    15. Yes, it is considerabley lighter than CP Tan. The CP tan is also a tinge orange by comparision to give you more of an idea. The photos of Tan Godo on the Soom site are a pretty good representation of his true color. ^_^ He is a very nice golden brown. Definitely not good for a body/head swap. ^_^;
       
    16. I keep looking at him at the Soom site (so tempted) but currently I can't find the tanning godo. He was available for a little while, and since then I can't find him there?
       
    17. He was released for a week long period at the end of July of 06. Then about two weeks ago (? they took them down already) they released him for another 5 days. I think they do this because the tan resin is really difficult for them. They say that for every 10 of them they make, only 1 is useable because of marbleing and air bubbles. If you keep looking around the marketplace and ebay, I'm sure you will find one. Last year, I saw about 4 of the 10 made at the time pop up at those places. Soom is currently updating the organization of their site, so Tan Godo isn't viewable anywhere right now I think.

      And I highly recommend him! He is very lovely! He was my first, and I still think he is my favorite. ^_^
       
    18. Are the Tan Godo's from Soom a monthly release or are they gone forever?

      I just saw him and think he's gorgeous,and am willing to save for him if possible.
       
    19. They'll probably release Tan Godo again, but I don't think they've decided upon a particular month for the next one. He's a great doll, by the way. My bud has one, and their tan is really pretty.
